Delgado being punished for hitting walk-off homer.

[Guest GYC]

Nady moved ahead of Floyd because of Floyd's slump?

Also a lefty starting tonight.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

It seems like they can't come up with any 2-out, RISP hits lately.

Too many jobs half done.

Happens again in the second. Wheee.

I wonder what the record for most men LOB without scoring a run is?

[Gwreck]

Single, walk, single gets us the bases loaded with no outs. Time to cash them in.

[Guest cooby]

A run on a walk!

[Gwreck]

...but that's it. 7 men left on in first 3 innings.

Fortunately, Glavine is sharp tonight. 7Ks in first 4 innings.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Aflac trivia: Who was the last Met to hit a walkoff homer in the twefth inning or later.

Dumb guess: Ron Gardenhire.

[nymr83]

nobody out bases loaded and we can't bring a run home? thats bad baseball. (yes i know Nady walked in a run, but after that it was still the same situation, you gotta get more there)

Does the "Grand Single" count?

[Guest GYC]

How many games now?

[Gwreck]

7,016 and counting...

[Gwreck]

Benny's HR was in the 13th.

[nymr83]

9 K's in 5 innings. When did Glavine become a strikeout pitcher??

[Gwreck]

Intentional walk to the 8th hitter works.

Bothers me slightly, though, as Glavine didn't have any walks up to that point. Reminds me of an idea I always meant to pitch to STATS, Inc., that they should recalculate WHIP as Unintentional Walks + Hits + HBP.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

This offense is so frustrating.
it's like getting to the top of the big hill on a roller coaster and finding out that the ride ends there.

[nymr83]

Craig Wilson batting with bases loaded thanks to TWO errors and a single.

[nymr83]

wow. 3-1 changeup. 3-2 changeup. now that takes balls.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Amazin' Tom Glavin'.

[Gwreck]

Correct answer to the Aflac question is indeed Agbayani...but as for regular-season, that requires going back aways -- last time that happened was 1996.

[Gwreck]

97 pitches for Glavine through 6.

OE: And with the Woodward single, he stays in to bunt him over.

[nymr83]

1st and 3rd with nobody out...lets get some runsssssss!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Runners at the corner against the bad-assed Solomon Torres, nobody out.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright busts his third hit and it's 2-0.

Xavier Nady VI breaks it open!
